At our institute, a colloquium is a talk in which researchers present their current projects. The colloquia are open to everyone – students, PhD candidates, lecturers, etc. – and provide a forum for engaging with current topics, learning more about the latest developments in archaeology, and, in some cases, contributing to the research yourself by asking questions. Each talk is always followed by a question and discussion session, which is open to all participants in the room and complements the researchers’ own perspectives. It also helps to clarify any points that may have been unclear during the talks. Depending on your interests, there are various colloquia and lectures you can attend. This list serves only as a rough overview: dates and topics are always announced in advance via the mailing lists (Urgeschichte and UFG/Mittelalterarch).
The colloquia always take place during the lecture term; dates are subject to change. All times are c.t.
